I'm using the following VB6 code fragment to read, for a given folder, all
the file names
and their associated modified times. This works ok up to about 4000 items,
then the time
to read the next 1000 begins to increase dramatically. I've got between
25K-30K items per
folder to read. The whole reason I do this anyway is so that I can sort
the times, and then
process the files sequentailly based on the modified date. The array is
dim'd at a large
number (50K) but changing it doesn't seem to effect performance.
This is reading from a CD, and reading from a local HD is only slightly faster.
The performance monitory shows the time being spent in the kernal.
Stats: 2000 items: 79 seconds, 4000 items: 300 seconds, 24000 items: 9750
Any suggestions?
I've enjoyed reading the other posts. Thanks for having this forum!

Just as we suspected: Selena Gomez ruthlessly dumped Justin Bieber and left him sobbing in a melodic falsetto.
Selena basically admitted as much during a maneating appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" last night. After declaring herself not only "single" but "so good," the "Spring Breakers" starlet went in for the kill: After Dave joked that he made the Biebs cry on his late night couch, Selena giggled: "Well, then that makes two of us."
We can only imagine Justin's broken heart dropping into his washboard abs. But perhaps this means war? The Biebs' first Selena-dedicated breakup song, "Nothing Like Us," was heartbreakingly fond. Next up: His vengeful "Cry Me a River?"

Stock Strategies: Basics of The Value Investing Stock Strategy
For value investors, simple market factors that can cause fluctuations in stock prices are not of great concern. Common market factors which tend to affect stock prices are: inflation reports, Fed rate hikes, oil prices, and wars.
Value investors are not concerned with market factors as much as the actual companies in which they are investing. In fact, a value investor likes to know the "fundamentals' of a company - or all factors relevant to the business and its relative strength in the market. Some very useful fundamentals for value investors to know include: cash flow, earnings growth, dividends, and company debt.
However, just because a company is sound in all of the categories listed above, that does not mean it would be considered a value stock investment opportunity. A company with great cash flow, solid, consistent earnings growth, reasonable dividends and relatively little to no company debt - may actually be a growth stock investment and therefore not desired by a value investor.
The value investor is looking for the best deal: a company with sound fundamentals but, trading below its "true value" for some reason. The market should eventually correct its inaccurate valuation and, send stock prices sharply upward when that correction occurs. This is why value investors comb the markets for great companies that have been missed by analysts and the investment community.
But, finding a good investment that appears undervalued by the market (and therefore trading at a price below its true worth) is not the same as buying cheap stocks or those that have already peaked and won't recover. There is usually a fundamental reason behind the decrease in the market value of a company and the consequent plummet in stock prices: essential business principles or operations may have changed (such as decreased earnings, loss of market share, etc.). Fundamental market changes will also cause fluctuations in value, such as government imposed new emissions regulations on the auto industry that would severely increase the costs of production for all automakers.
Analysis in Value Investing Stock StrategyAs the value investor is trying to find good companies with strong growth and earnings potential that have been overlooked by the market somehow, a lot of homework and analysis will be necessary. The trick for anyone using the value investing stock strategy is to find the true value of the company as opposed to its "market value." A number of factors are used to determine the true value of a company and each investor will have their own "winning formula." Some common valuation metrics for value investors are:
Price/Earnings Ratio (P/E Ratio) - The P/E ratio can be used to determine how the earnings of a business compare with the current share price. It is obtained by dividing the current stock price by the annual earnings per share. The higher a company's P/E ratio, the greater the expectations placed upon it by investors in the near future. These higher expectations also drive up stock prices, which is why investors using the value stock strategy do not like high P/E ratios as they may indicate that the company is over valued by the market. This is precisely the opposite of what a value investor is looking for - instead, the value stocks tend to be those that have a P/E ratio in the bottom 10-20% of their business sector.
PEG - The PEG is a valuation metric concerned with future earnings growth. The PEG factors in future growth rates with the P/E ratio. It is calculated by dividing the P/E ratio by the projected growth in earnings for the coming year.
PEG = P/E Ratio / Projected Growth in EarningsFor instance, assume that Business A has a P/E ratio of 15 with projected earnings of 12%, or 15/12. Most value investors like companies with a PEG of 1 or less because it is a good indicator of being under valued by the market. Business A has a PEG of 1.25 which means that investors are willing to pay more for future earnings growth than a company with a PEG of 1 or less. Essentially, the market already recognizes the value in company A and, the stock prices have risen accordingly. Thus, company A would not be considered a value investment but, may still be a solid growth stock worthy of investment. The higher the PEG number, the more expensive the investment and the less likely a value investor will be interested in owning stock in that company.
Solid Earnings Growth over an Extended TimeIt is not uncommon for a company to have great earnings over a period of 6-8 years and, then decide its time to take the business public. After a great IPO, the business may stagger and fail to meet earnings or revenue expectations. As a result, the stock may nose dive and fall out of favor with the investment community. Value investors, however, see this as a potential opportunity: solid and sustained earnings growth is no accident - the company knew what it was doing before and, one or two bad quarterly reports don't necessarily spell disaster. In fact, they may be due to massive investments in the company that may result in increased profits, higher dividends, and higher stock prices in the not-so-distant future. If a company can maintain 7-10% earnings growth over a period of 5-6 years or more, then one or two misses can probably be explained by some temporary factors. So long as the fundamentals remain solid and any poor performance is explained sufficiently, a value investor would consider this a value stock with the prospect of solid future earnings growth as well.
Intrinsic ValueDetermining the value of a business used to be fairly straightforward: add up all the assets, subtract any outstanding debt and financial obligations - whatever remains is the value of the company. Value investors need to look beyond the obvious assets and market position of businesses - especially in the Information Age.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to put an accurate value on intellectual property, developing technology, and any knowledge based asset. How do you know what a patent is truly worth when you don't know what future sales will actually be? How many sales are made because of a trademark or logo - what if you had to put a dollar amount on how much that trademark is worth? Sometimes, these corporate "intangibles" do not even show up on the financial statements. Value investors seek out and purchase stocks when they believe that current share prices do not accurately reflect the value of intangibles and their potential to affect future growth. When the market corrects based off of higher-than-expected earnings and revenue, the stock prices will rise nicely and handsomely increase investor profits.
To find the intrinsic value of a company, investors need to determine the market cap - or establish how much it would cost to buy every single share of company stock at current market prices. This is the total value of the company according to the market - including intangibles, fundamentals, and market conditions. A value stock generally has a market cap which is close to or maybe even lower than the book value.
The book value of a company is found by totaling assets and, subtracting all obligations and liabilities. If the assets had to be liquidated and all the debts paid off, how much would be left? That is the book value of the company. The market cap will exceed the book value by a fair margin in growing companies because of their ability to generate earnings growth - often due to intangibles such as patents, trademarks, or other intellectual property that gives them an advantage over the competition.
Value investors use a number of valuation metrics and analysis to help find stocks that are under valued today, but are destined to rise once the market corrects its mistake in the future. P/E ratio, PEG, earnings growth, and intrinsic value are just some of the variables that value investors look at when trying to find the best bargain stocks on the market.

As the mad bombers at NATO engage in a public relations stunt in response to the fallout from the slaughter of innocent Libyan civilians, here in the United States a few dignified members of Congress are attempting to put a halt to the illegal war.
Obama's order to bomb Libya was obviously unconstitutional. He did not consult Congress let alone seek a declaration of war, as spelled in Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution. Democrats want to pass some sort of after the fact resolution signing off on Obama's war, but they fear opponents will take advantage of any such hearings to denounce the president.
In response, Obama's commissariat insist they don't need to follow no stinkin' Constitution. "Obama administration officials claim they don't need Congress' permission to launch what they describe as kinetic military activity," reports Fox News.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
After Secretary of Forever War Robert Gates acknowledged Obama's little war has so far cost the American people $550 million and would continue to cost about $40 million a month, a few in Congress used the math to attack the globalist operation.
Gates said the Pentagon will need a supplement budget to fund the operation.
On Wednesday, Senator Rand Paul introduced a nonbinding resolution that states the president "does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." Paul said Obama's acts are a "very serious breach of our Constitution."
Rep. Dennis Kucinich has proposed an amendment to ban funding for the Libya campaign while Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, a Maryland Republican, introduced a bill aimed at making sure the Libya operation does not add to the deficit.
Instead of calling for an end to the illegal onslaught, the Bartlett proposal would require Obama to provide Congress with a list of proposed cuts from the discretionary, non-military section of the budget to cover the military's expenses in Libya. In other words, Bartlett and the Republicans would cut grandma's Social Security to pay for the globalist adventure.
"We find ourselves in a situation where Congress is debating cuts in domestic programs to make essential progress on the deficit, even as President Obama has initiated an expensive, open-ended military commitment in a country that his defense secretary says is not a vital interest," said Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Meanwhile, Senate neocons are drafting a resolution to slap the gloss of legality on Obama's war. Sen. John McCain is working with Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass, GOP boss Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn, to come up with a symbolic "sense of the Senate" motion or something with more sticking power to legitimize the illegal war.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat, said debate on a resolution authorizing military force after the fact could open the door for opponents to rally against the resolution.
Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (Ad)
Kerry went so far as to say he doesn't think Congress needs to sign off on the military action after the fact, but Congress may come up with a bill regardless.
In other words, the unitary presidency is alive and well, never mind how loudly Democrats howled when Bush did the same thing.

Mario Fatali's (Yellow Scotch Bonnet Type)
A yellow habanero type. Looks almost like a cross between a habanero and a jolokia. These peppers truly are lethal. The heat is immediate, unbearable, and long lasting. We will continue to grow these bad boys in years to come. Let it be known that these guys are best used in their fresh form. Drying them is tricky because they are prone to dry rot.

Have you ever visited a website on a browser to be shown a message that the website cannot be loaded? Well, I have been through that several times. It could be due to a DDoS attack or due to a website suffering from heavy user traffic. However, the browser message is not always useful to end users.
That said, if you are a Google Chrome user (dev version for now), there is some cloud intelligence being used to determine why a website is down, whilst providing users with an option to still surf the webpage through a Cached copy available on Google.
Here is a recent page not loaded message displayed to me on the Chrome developer version when I visited Dropbox forums to take part in their treasure hunt.
As you can see from the screenshot above, Google Chrome is now including a message saying that "Other users are also experiencing difficulties connecting to this site, so you may have to wait a few minutes". I found this message to be quite useful since I usually rush to http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ to figure out whether a website is just down for me or everyone else too.
Kudos to the Google Chrome team for creating such informative messages for error pages. It always helps because people usually want to know what is wrong, rather than having to deal with a stupid error page.
*This feature is currently only available in dev builds of Google Chrome, you might not see it in the stable build.

Quick recap:
Yesterday: Rode to Lulu's for lunch, took the bus home. Got the road bike ready for action.
This morning: Rode all the way, had some quick coffee and didn't see another bicycle the entire trip, none.
Lunch: Rode to Jimmy John's for a sammich. Damn, they're fast. I called the order in as I stepped out the door. When I arrived, I was in and out with lunch-in-hand in quite literally 30 seconds. Just amazing. Good food, too, but kind of $$$ for what you get.
This afternoon: Took the bus home (I'm lazy) and ran out to get some grub for my wife. Came home, got the bike stripped down, threw it on the truck and drove to my old apartment. From there, I rode to the 127th street planning meeting. After that, I swung by the grocery store for supper, which included a sushi tray :)
Anyhow, the 127th street planning meeting was helpful and a lot more organized than before. Cyclists showed up in droves, and there are still some ill-informed people who think that taking away the bike lanes will let them keep all of their property. Truth be told, they're going with 4' wide bike lanes and 11' wide traffic lanes. These are all about 1' each narrower than comparable arterials and bike lanes. They are using less green space and going with a traditional sidewalk instead of a wide multi-use path in some places. All of these are measures to reduce the impact on the right-of-way. If they took out the bike lanes, the same width would be utilized and no land would be spared. I think we made a positive impact, though. Thanks to everyone who came out!
Tomorrow, I plan on riding all the way again. We'll see how that pans out. Sorry for being a little radio silent lately. It's been kind of a nightmare with the audit deadlines at work.

Week 1 of the MLS Fantasy season is in the books, and the average Fantasy team scored 42 points for the round.
*Remember to join the Official Whitecaps FC Fantasy League by selecting the 'Caps as your favourite team
The most captained player by all teams was Mike Magee, which turned out to be a disaster, as he didn't play. It's safe to say that there will be a lot of teams licking their wounds and trying to improve their squad for Week 2 and beyond.
Meanwhile, teams that included Will Bruin, Federico Higuain, Kenny Miller, or Nick Rimando likely scored well above average.
Regardless of where you might find yourself after Week 1, here is my advice for improving your roster for Week 2.
Load Up on Dynamo players
Houston, fresh off a 4-0 clean sheet victory over New England, host a Montreal Impact team that will be without its star striker, Marco Di Vaio.
Historically, the Dynamo have been known to keep long clean sheet streaks at home, and I think that their current one has a great chance of continuing through this week's match.
Corey Ashe ($7.1), Kofi Sarkodie ($6.5) and rookie centre back David Horst ($5.6) are all excellent options this week. You will want at least 2 of them on your squad.
Montreal is likely to struggle defensively this season, so Will Bruin ($8.1) and Oscar Boniek Garcia ($10.0) also seem like strong plays this week.
I'm going with Sarkodie and Horst at the back and Will Bruin up front this week.
If it were not for Houston having a bye week next week, I would have gone with the 4 player maximum.
Believe the Hype - Pedro Morales
Pedro Morales is the real deal, folks. In 26 minutes against New York Red Bulls, he put up 11 Fantasy Points, and looked to be a in a class of his own on the pitch. Keep in mind that Morales is in mid-season form, coming from La Liga, and will no longer be battling jet-lag this week.
Carl Robinson has said that Morales will likely start against Chivas USA on Sunday, and he is going to put up points. Bank on it.
The 'Caps have two road games in the next two weeks, which should normally mean decreased fantasy point production expectations. However, this is not the same Whitecaps team as last season, and their depth of creative attacking players should allow them to put up points on the road against many teams. I like their chances to score multiple goals against both Chivas, who gave up two to a Mike Magee-less Chicago Fire squad, and New England, who surrendered four goals to the Dynamo in Week 1.
As a result, I used my two transfers this week to pick up Pedro Morales and Sebastian Fernandez, in place of Diego Fagundez and Giles Barnes.
I suspect that the price of Morales ($8.5) and Fernandez ($7.1) will rise in the coming weeks.
Morales' price is currently frozen due to being recently added to MLS Fantasy Manager.
Hold off on TFC Players
Toronto FC made headlines this summer by bringing in the likes of Jermain Defoe, Michael Bradley, Dwayne De Rosario, Gilberto, and Julio Cesar, and while their roster does seem poised to put up big Fantasy points at some point this season, it likely won't be for a while.
TFC open their season on Saturday in Seattle after having a Week 1 bye and an underwhelming preseason. This squad will likely need some time to build chemistry, so look for them to start slowly. Toronto starts the season with three of their first four games on the road, and still have two more bye weeks before the World Cup.
I wouldn't recommend picking up any TFC players just yet, I think there are far better options for the first few weeks of the season.
Budget Options
Putting together a competitive Starting 11 involves saving money on your bench players.
Here are some players currently priced below $5.0 who will likely see minutes in the coming weeks:
- Thomas McMamara - CHV - ($4.6): Exciting rookie who scored in Week 1, should be in line for many starts now that he has proven himself.
- Dylan Remick - SEA - ($4.1): Started and put up a clean sheet in Week 1. Might be benched Week 2 if Leo Gonzalez returns from injury. Even if he doesn't start he's worth a spot on your bench.
- Eric Miller - MTL ($4.5) - Played a full 90 and did not look out of place. There likely won't be too many clean sheets for Montreal this year, but Miller is good value for the price.
- Sean Okoli - SEA ($4.0) - Brought on late by the Sounders and his play directly led to the winning goal. Won't see many minutes, but at $4.0, you will hard pressed to do better at forward.
- Mathew Fondy - CHV ($4.0) - Didn't see the pitch in Week 1, but had a goal in a reserve game this week. He will get his chance this year at some point.
Top 10 Captain Options - Week 2
1. Will Bruin
2. Corey Ashe
3. Oscar Boniek Garcia
5. Thierry Henry
6. Aurelien Collin
7. Diego Valeri
8. Graham Zusi
9. Pedro Morales
10. Obafemi Martins
Here is my team for Week 2

Edmonton, AB-- The longest-serving member of the Edmonton Rush and fan favorite Jimmy Quinlan has decided to call it a career.
Quinlan formally announced his retirement today, but will remain on the Rush bench for the 2014 National Lacrosse League season as he takes over the duties of Assistant Coach, Defensive. The Sherwood Park native will replace defensive coach Devan Wray, who leaves the team due to family commitments.
"Deciding to walk away from the game of lacrosse was not an easy choice, but the opportunity to move into a coaching role is something I have always wanted to do which makes the decision easier." states Rush Captain Jimmy Quinlan.
Quinlan joined the Rush for the team's inaugural season after one year with the Toronto Rock, and went on to become the Rush's Captain for his final two years with the team. He also finishes his career as the second-leading scorer in team history with 219 points. Quinlan's lone goal in the 2013 campaign allowed him to reach the 100-career goal plateau. He also finishes with 119 assists in the Rush's black and silver, and ends his nine-year career with 229 regular-season points, 544 loose balls, eight points in seven playoff games, and a pair of NLL All-Star Game appearances.
"It's said that one door may close but another opens and this is certainly the case with Jimmy." states General Manager/Head Coach Derek Keenan
"I will miss Quinlan's fire and leadership on the floor and in the locker room. However I look forward to working with him on the coaching side."
"Devan Wray did a great job with our defense in his two years with the Rush , there is big shoes to fill but I have 100% confidence Quinlan will make an easy transition to coaching."
Far beyond his point totals Quinlan will be remembered for his competitive spirit, leadership, and gamesmanship. After four seasons anchoring the Rush's offensive attack that included career-highs for goals (23), assists (32), and points (55) in 2007, Quinlan took it upon himself to supply greater depth to the Edmonton defensive corps by switching positions from forward to transition.
Quinlan's fiery nature brought the best out of his teammates, and he went to battle for many of them in heated altercations. Many nights, Quinlan left Rexall Place and arenas around the NLL sporting bumps, bruises, black eyes, and scraped knees. Despite putting his body on the line every night, Quinlan played in 133 of 134 total regular-season and playoff games in eight seasons with the Rush.
"The minute I was awarded the team, it was without a doubt we wanted local lacrosse player Jimmy Quinlan on the Rush roster" states Owner Bruce Urban.
"Quinlan will be remembered as a great captain for the Rush. I thank Jimmy for his many nights of passion, dedication and leadership on the floor, the organization and Rush fans will celebrate his playing career and further celebrate his success as a coach in the future years of the Rush."
Perhaps the most memorable of Quinlan's actions came during the Rush's first-ever playoff appearance in 2010. After being up most of the night and seeing the birth of his first child, Quinlan raced from Edmonton to Calgary just in time for the faceoff, and the Rush went on to post a stunning victory over the defending champion Roughnecks in the West Semi-Final.
" I would like to thank my beautiful wife Shelby, and my daughter Gracie for encouraging me to follow my passion and dream. I would also like to thank my family for all of the support they have given me throughout my career, support that has spanned over 25 years of playing lacrosse.
My friends in the city have also encouraged me in many ways, and I am grateful for having so many supportive people around me. I feel very fortunate to have been able to play so many years in the city I grew up in and would like to thank Bruce Urban and the Edmonton Rush for providing me with that opportunity.
A thank you is also due to all of my current and former teammates and coaches who always made coming to the arena enjoyable. Lastly, I would like to thank the dedicated Edmonton Rush fans who always made it fun and exciting to play in Edmonton.
I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead as I embark on a new chapter in my career."
A formal retirement ceremony during the 2014 Season will be announced shortly for the Rush captain.
The 2014 Rush season tickets are now on sale and available by calling the Rush Office at 780 732-RUSH.
Dates for the 2014 Training Camp will be released shortly.

What's a little fallout, eh? Have a nice day!
When you mention Interplay's Fallout series
in a crowded room of geeks, people seem have one of two thoughts. Some remember
the game's similarity to the Mad Max world. You've got punks running
amok, hardened individuals roaming the land, and a big post-apocalyptic mess
everywhere. Others fondly remember their adventures in the first two Fallout
games. Awesome character building, non-linearity and a great atmosphere made
for some of the best RPGing on the PC.
Yet when a copy of Fallout Tactics arrived in my radioactive mailbox,
I could only think of one thing: violence. Lots of it. The off-the-wall brutality
of the series conjured disgusting images of mayhem, sort of like this shot of
mushy peas. A bloody mess, indeed.
Fallout Tactics shifts the series from the original RPG roots in favor
of strategic, tactical squad-based combat. Gone are the days of the lone gunman
and gone are the nights of roaming the wasteland. Now, it's all about annihilating
extremely large groups of bad guys and taking all of their stuff.
Those familiar with the Fallout series will have no trouble jumping
right into Tactics. As always, you'll create a character with a ton of
possible trait combinations and set off into the wastes. This time, though,
there's a mission to undertake.
You see, instead of being a vault dweller or plain old "survivor," you've become
an initiate into the roughest fraternity ever to grace the post-nuclear Land
of the Free and Home of the Brave. This time, you are a member of the Brotherhood
of Steel. Just don't forget the secret handshake – I hear the hazing is pretty
New to the Fallout style of gameplay is the developers call "Continuous
Turn-Based" mode, which for the most part should just be called "Real-Time"
mode. You don't really take turns, though you have to repeatedly tell your units
what to do (they won't just target and shoot at a guy until he's dead – you
have to keep ordering it). I mean, if everyone is taking turns at the same time
over and over again, isn't that 'real-time'? The traditional Fallout
turn-based battles are still an option, but both methods of play have their
ups and downs.
The classic turn-based style of play leads to a game that crawls along slow
as can be. Many of the missions take place on large maps and a single excursion
can last hours on end. In CTB mode, you'll be able to fly through the map at
a much quicker pace. The downside is that controlling six characters at once
is a tall order.
Imagine trying to click out unique orders to six different soldiers. You
stand here and shoot the guy in the funny hat. You go there and shoot
the other guy in the funnier hat. You stand still and look angry. And
so on and so forth. It really isn't so bad when you're only facing a small handful
of grunts, but anything more spells disaster.
Thank goodness for idiot enemies, though, because if the bad guys were smarter
than a box of rocks, this game would be damn near impossible to handle in CTB
mode. Enemies often display random acts of stupidity, like standing idly by
as their buddies get shot. Occasionally, some will show a glimmer of intelligence
and duck behind a crate, but it looks like all of that radiation has done a
number on the ol' brain cells.
The terrible AI also impacts your own units due to generally bad pathfinding.
After getting caught behind countless objects and running off to the wrong place,
players will definitely have to hold everyone's hand to ensure the safety of
the class.
At least the wonderful depth of the series is still intact. Even though Tactics
is primarily a strategy game, the RPG core of Fallout is very much alive.
Each character you control gains character points and can be tweaked to your
own satisfaction. With this in mind, you can groom certain characters to specialize
in specific methods of destruction. Snipers, heavy weapons experts and even
skilled drivers for the vehicles can be acquired. After all, it's all fun and
games 'til someone gets run over by a tank.
Thankfully, the humor that many Fallout fans have grown to love is
also still here. The game is peppered with plenty of one-liners to keep a smug
smile on gamer faces everywhere.
One familiar Fallout aspect that isn't as welcomed is the graphics.
While the original looked fine for its time, the same graphics that were found
in the second installment felt dated. That
was two years ago. Tactics looks basically the same as its predecessors,
feeling old and worn in the process.
But the audio side of things scores some points with great voice. From the
gruff commander to frightened captives, you'll find that good voice actors really
DO exist in video games.
And let's not forget the multiplayer. Take a team online and face off against
the world on the net. Two types of game (Skirmish & Assault) will provide more
of a challenge should you decide to venture out into the vast wasteland of the
information superhighway.
One special thing I need to mention is the inventory bug that may cause items
to go missing. A patch has
been released, but clocking in at over 70 MB makes me wonder what else is going
on. Ouch, that's a big bug to squash.
Yet even with its faults, Tactics still succeeds in bringing a mind-bending
strategy game to the table. Missions can often be executed several different
ways. It's up to you to decide what's the best for your team. Just make sure
to check the intelligence before you begin, otherwise really bad things
can happen.
After the bombs have dropped and the dust clears, Tactics remains a
tough call. Remember – this is NOT the third installment of Fallout,
but a spin-off that takes place between the first two episodes. Anyone expecting
otherwise is in for a supreme disappointment. Many strategy fans will appreciate
the depth and Fallout groupies will love the continuity, but some things
like control in CTB mode or the pace in the classic style may drop bombs in
the wrong places. The wise man tries the demo.

Celebrating the life of a baby boy or girl is an exciting, fun experience that friends, family and most importantly parents enjoy. Babies make progress so quickly — everything from walking, to talking, to growing their first tooth — and it's important to recognize such milestones and mark them in time by giving the baby a personalized, thoughtful gift. Such an act is memorable and important for many reasons, which I will share in this article.
Giving baby gifts that are customized for particular occasions allows for the ability to retain memories of the event in later years. Statistics show that physical cues, along with scents and sounds, bring back old memories and for parents bringing back thoughts of good days gone by is awesome. An act like growing a first tooth may not seem exciting or even be remembered clearly in a few years, but in fact it's a big step and should be remembered. Personalized baby gifts do just that.
If you were to sit down and really think about all of the opportunities to give a personalized baby gift you would go crazy; there are so many occasions and milestones to choose from. Some of the most popular baby gifts include presents for baptisms, christening, first tooth, first birthday, first holiday season and the list goes on. Friends and family members, and of course parents, should think about these gifts and give the baby something he or she will be able to reflect on when they're older. They will thank you.
Lastly, if there's one thing I can stress about giving baby gifts in general is to make sure the gift(s) are safe and will not harm the child in any way. This is very important as the last thing you want is for a good deed to turn into a disaster.
I hope this article has been helpful and good luck selecting baby gifts! With thought and research your gift will surely be a success.

Horse breeding farm in Old Lyme becoming boarding facility, another victim of hard times
OLD LYME -- Mary Jean Vasiloff of McCulloch Farm decided on her life's work when she was a child. At age 9, she announced to her parents that she planned to breed horses.
As Morgan horses roamed near the barn one early autumn morning recently, she reflected on a long career implementing her childhood plans.
"The relationship I have with them is what I enjoy," Vasiloff, 82, said of the horses. "They greet you lovingly."
This year, as tree leaves begin to brighten to reds and yellows, she said the farm will gradually change as more horses on the farm will be boarders rather than horses that Vasiloff has bred. The farm will host what may be its last open barn over Columbus Day weekend.
A combination of factors, including financial difficulties from the recession and a dwindling market for the horses she breeds, have made it difficult to continue breeding Morgans, she said. The market has become divided between people acquiring high-end breeds overseas or rescued horses, according to Vasiloff.
"There's no market for well-bred pleasure horses," she said.
McCulloch Farm first began breeding horses in 1945. Vasiloff's family purchased the land at 100 Whippoorwill Road in the 1920s to host a summer camp for out-of-town youths. Her father, a neurophysiologist, designed bunk houses on the land and engineered a dam on the lake. The family uncovered on the property a stone marking the mileage to New London as well as rum containers from the Prohibition era, Vasiloff said.
After the camp closed, her mother purchased animals, from milking cows and beef cattle to flocks of sheep, and transformed the 600-acre land into a farm. During World War II, she also created victory gardens to help with the war effort.
Vasiloff and her sister and two brothers helped out as farm hands.
"We worked very hard," she said.
Vasiloff learned about breeding horses over the years with the help of an expert. In her career breeding Morgan horses on the farm, Vasiloff also served as director of the American Morgan Horse Association, wrote articles on caring for horses and wrote a book, "Alone With Your Horse."
Vasiloff will continue teaching others about horses. She said caring for horses is a great responsibility.
"I just try to educate, educate and educate," she said.
She teaches a group of teenagers who volunteer at the farm about the horses and spends hours reviewing the parts of the horse - from their teeth to their legs.
Morgan horses are intelligent and quick to learn, she said.
"They're quite talented animals," she said
American settlers used Morgans to drive wagons across the country. While other states claim the breed, Vasiloff said the horse originated in Connecticut.
Vasiloff sold five Morgans last year. She will continue to sell horses and take care of the horses staying on her farm.
"If I can't breed them, at least I can help them get good homes," she said.

Tile Flooring Ideas: Giving Your Floor Personality in Washing DC
With advancements and innovations in home design as well as expanding creativity and style, tile flooring ideas now go beyond the bathroom and the kitchen. In the more traditional days, tiles were only used in rooms with a lot of moisture, traffic, rough and tumble. Now, you can use tiles to beautify your living room, make your bedroom more dramatic and so on. With tiles having so many different textures, colors and designs, the possibilities are also endless for tile flooring ideas.
You can go with one kind of tile when you want flooring that is durable and beautiful. You can also mix and match different materials too. Together with your imagination and creativity, you can create a flooring design that's unique to your home and give the rooms of your house a great personality, your personality. To make sure you utilize the wide selection of tile flooring ideas, you have to know about the various kinds of tiles that you can work with to install on your floor.
First, you have porcelain tiles. These tiles are made by firing at high temperatures. They are also very dense and moisture resistant. You can purchase porcelain in a variety of shades and colors. Porcelain tiles are the most expensive though but with them you have tile flooring ideas that can mimic stone and other materials.
You also have ceramic tiles. This kind of tile is the inexpensive way to achieve the look of granite or marble floors. They can give the effect of having water on your floors that's oh so dramatic. Another kind of tile you can use as flooring is metal tile. These are either industrial gratings or stainless steel. If you want your floor to have the look of brass, bronze or steel, this is the one to go for. You can mix and match this tile with other kinds of tiles to accent the floor and create a point of interest in the room.
One of the most traditional flooring ideas to go for is using terracotta tiles. You can get a handcrafted look for your floors with this kind of tile. You can use it in the regular square shape or get ones in octagon shapes, etc. Put a picture on your floors with mosaic tiles. You can make a pattern or lay them out randomly for a unique design. Lastly, you've got glass tiles. These can be used as tile flooring ideas to give a quality finished look to any room.

LOS ANGELES | Mon Nov 19, 2012 2:32pm EST
(Reuters) – The American Music Awards pulled in its lowest ever TV audience on Sunday, despite the presence of teen heart-throb Justin Bieber and Korean "Gangnam Style" sensation Psy.
According to ratings data issued on Monday, Sunday's ceremony and performance show broadcast live on Walt Disney Co's ABC television was watched by an average 9.5 million viewers – down from 12 million in 2011.
The annual show also dropped 21 percent of its viewers compared to last year in the key 18-49 demographic most prized by advertisers.
The American Music Awards was up against stiff competition this year from football, but ABC said the telecast was the top TV show of the night with women and teens.
But big stars like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Adele and Beyonce did not turn up for the show as it celebrated its 40th anniversary as an alternative to the Grammys.
Bieber, 18, was the top draw on Sunday, winning three awards including artist of the year and performing live twice.
Korean Internet phenomenon Psy closed out the three hour ceremony with a rousing performance of his No.1 hit single "Gangnam Style", joined on stage with MC Hammer, one of the pioneering rappers from the 1980s.

You probably don't associate the Beats by Dr. Dre brand with corporate chic, but that's the vibe the company is going for with its Executive noise-canceling headphones.
In its marketing pitch, Beats says the Executives are designed to "take you from [the] boardroom to the tarmac and everywhere in between. These headphones deliver the legendary Beats sound now in a refined premium package that's easier than ever to take on the road."
In other words, it's trying to dip into the same crowd that Bose runs with -- and why not, those are the guys and gals who can afford to pay $300 for a pair of headphones.
So, are the Executives as good as the
In the past, a lot of people complained that Beats headphones just weren't that sturdy and didn't hold up that well over time. I've only tested this pair for a week, so I can't comment on how well they'll do over several months, but they seem much better built than previous Beats models and have a good sturdy feel to them, with some parts made out of metal instead plastic, thick wires, an L-shaped plug, and a nicely padded headband and earcups. They have a slightly more refined, understated look than some of the other Beats models.
While one of the hinges squeaked a little -- a spritz of WD-40 remedied that -- I liked the design and found the headphones very comfortable, though they are somewhat hefty (the adjectives sturdy and hefty often seem to go together).
The Executives have a double hinge and fold flat and up slightly to fit into a fairly compact case that's about the same size as the case for the Bose QC15s. A diagram inside the case informs you how they should be folded to fit properly. However, there's no pocket inside the case for storing an extra set of batteries or the two-pronged adapter.
In a nice touch, the door to the battery compartment in the left earcup adheres magnetically and is easy to get on and off. Two AAA batteries are required to power the noise cancellation; the switch is at the top of the right earcup. Alas, like with Bose's QuietComfort headphones, you have to activate the noise-canceling to get any sound out of the headphones -- so if the batteries die, you can't listen to anything.
Beyond the active noise cancellation, the headphones ship with a two-pronged airline adapter and two different headphone cables (yes, the cables are detachable). One is a standard straight cord while the other has an Apple-friendly inline remote with a microphone for making cell phone calls.

From my area, Bayley Tow (LView), Mycah Grandstaff (CView, went to state as frosh) and Joel Genter (CView) will be going to state most likely. Genter missed it by 1 last year, and will not miss again. Crestview and Lincolnview both have a decent chance at moving on as teams.

Over 150,000! That's the number of pancakes consumed by hungry participants over the past 19 years during Kiwanis Pancake Saturday. Now it's time to add to that number. On Saturday, January 28 the Kiwanis Club of Peachtree City presents its 20th annual Pancake Saturday, touted by many as "Peachtree City's Premier Mid-Winter Social Event." Approximately 3,000 people are expected to attend.
The function will be held in the cafeteria of McIntosh High School on Walt Banks Road. Serving hours are from 7 a.m.-1 p.m. The all-you-can-eat menu consists of fluffy pancakes, zesty sausage, orange juice, milk, coffee and tea. The cost is $6 per person. Kids under 3 eat for free. Takeouts are available as well as plenty of free parking. Tickets are available from Kiwanis members or may be purchased at the door. Should snow or ice conditions exist, the event will be held the following Saturday.
The occasion is a family affair with an emphasis on entertaining children. Of course adults will also have a great time visiting with friends and neighbors. Clowns from New Hope Baptist Church will make balloon animals and provide their usual antics for the guests. Helium-filled balloons will also be distributed by youthful volunteers. Free face-painting will be provided by Key Club members from area high schools. A pancake eating contest for kids under 12 will be held around 11 a.m. with the winner receiving a Target gift card. Flapjack the Raccoon, the Kiwanis mascot, will keep a close lookout for curious kids. Various Police and Fire Department vehicles will be parked outside for children (and adults, too) to investigate. Among the vehicles are fire trucks, the Public Education Unit fire safety bus, a police squad car, and the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) trailer.
All profits generated by ticket sales will be returned to the area through charitable donations and community service projects. Among many projects oriented towards our youth, the Kiwanis Club is proud to be the sole sponsor of the D.A.R.E. drug awareness program for fifth graders in six Peachtree City elementary schools. The Kiwanis motto is "Serving The Children Of The World." To see photos from last year's pancake extravaganza visit the following website: www.peachtreecitykiwanis.org.

The Deutschherrenhaus, the first settlement of the Teutonic Order Knights in Rhineland, is the living embodiment of Koblenz's rich history.
This can be seen from its location on the Deutsches Eck, the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Here it faces the Kaiser Monument, the memorial to Wilhelm I, which in 1992 was restored to its original form along with the museum building. The Ludwig Museum provides a unique connection to the art of today, particularly that of France, and benefits from its links to the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation and its portfolios in numerous museums both in Germany and abroad.

NEW YORK - Sarah Palin is out as a Fox News Channel contributor.
The network said Friday that it is parting ways with the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate.
Bill Shine, executive vice president at Fox News, said the network has enjoyed its association with Palin and wishes her the best. There was no immediate comment from the former Alaska governor.
A person familiar with discussions between Fox and Palin described the parting as amicable, saying that Fox and Palin had discussed renewing her contract but she decided to do other things. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.
Palin debuted as a Fox contributor in January 2010.
